Brother and Sister Odom...

Your son has recently been asked to serve as a district leader in the Philippines Cauayan Mission...in this role he will...not only continue to serve as a missionary but also as a leader, motivator, teacher, facilitator, and manager. This will require effective planning and execution as well as greater dependence on the Lord.

As a leader he will accomplish his work through the people he leads. He will love, lift, lead and manage a number of other missionaries. It will be his privilege to trust the Lord as Nephi, "not knowing beforehand the things which I should do. Nevertheless I went forth..." This does not mean Nephi was not prepared. But even in strange and unsure situations he did his job knowing the Lord would help.
